Gas turbine hot sections condition monitoring based on operational thermal dataset.

This paper aimed to monitor the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) from the end of the low-pressure turbine (LPT) of a gas turbine for period of 6 months. To achieve this, 16 thermocouples were strategically placed to gather data at different points in the exhaust system. This comprehensive approach allowed for a detailed analysis of the exhaust gas temperature, which is a critical factor in the health of hot section of gas turbines.
